Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, the 5th from the Sun. It is not quite as bright as Venus when seen from Earth. Measured across, Jupiter is ten times the size of the Earth and one-tenth the size of the Sun. Like the Sun and Saturn, it is mostly hydrogen and helium. There may be a small core of rock and perhaps ice at the center.
2. Temperatures in the corona can reach over 1 000 000 ̊C. 3. It is the thickest layer, stretching several million kilometres into space. Phenomena on the Sun’s surface | 1.

Cepheid variable stars have masses much larger than our Sun; the more massive stars are more luminous and have more extended envelopes 10. The stars near the centers of galaxies are orbiting at high velocities, which mean that there is the presence of super-massive black holes in the centers of most galaxies. 11. Large galaxies can absorb smaller galaxies called galactic cannibalism. Chapter 14 1.
Name: Date: Semester Lab: Lost in Space – Checkpoint #2 Worksheet Scientists find an unknown sample in a NASA lab that has been misplaced. They want to identify the sample, place it back into the NASA collection, and match it with the correct mission. Day 1 A) Space Missions Clue: Scientists believe the unknown sample was collected from one of the past space missions below. They want you to research these NASA missions to discover the objectives each mission. (5 points) Note: Go to http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/ and check the planet missions that you want to research.
He built his own telescopes and was the first to use to view the heavens in 1610. After doing so, he made many discoveries. He saw that Jupiter has moon orbiting around it, like the Earth. He made the discoveries of the four moons on January 7, 1610 and they are now called the Galilean moons. These are the largest of Jupiters moons.
What observations did Galileo make that proved that planets go around the sun? Galileo didn't necessarily prove it but ruled out the geocentric model; that everything revolved around the earth. He did this by observing Jupiter's moons and found that they orbited Jupiter and not the Earth. g. What laws tell us how the planets move around the star? (1) The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.
Ast 103 Amber Titus Shrinking Moon Lab The moon along with the rest of Earth’s atmosphere has such a major impact of human’s lives. Space has provided natural entertainment of shooting stars, planets, comets, stars, and meteorites. The one space object that has stuck out to me and I am sure others is, the moon. The moon places a huge role in everyday life because we see it rise, set change phases, change colors, etc. With all this change people are constantly questioning certain things about the moon and its origins.
Introduction One look at the surface of the Moon should convince you that "empty space" is not so empty after all. There is actually a wide range of objects floating between the planets, from tiny particles to asteroids that can be a hundred miles across, debris left behind when the planets were formed. These objects can be perturbed from their orbits (by a close passage by a planet, a passing star, any number of things) and onto paths that cross ours -- or any other planet or moon. When
